SCHOOL HOLIDAY ROAD SAFETY REMINDER FOR FAMILIES
With the school holidays approaching, daily routines will soon change. Different play locations and holiday destinations means different traffic environments.
So to help keep our children safe, families are reminded about these key road safety points:
1. Stop, look, listen, think every time you cross the road. If your child is aged 8 years or younger hold their hand when walking near or across roads. If your child is 9-10 years old always actively supervise them.
2. It’s the law that everyone wears a helmet when riding a bike in a public place. It makes sense to wear a helmet when riding scooters and skateboards too!
3. Click clack front ‘n back every person for every trip. Everyone in the car must be securely buckled up in the right seatbelt or child restraint.
4. Talk to your child about being a safe road user. Reinforce safe road behaviours by being a good role model! Children learn safe road behaviours from the adults who care for them. Talk about what you are doing to be safe when near roads, in the car and when riding.
5. Point out road safety differences and dangers in new environments. This is especially important when on holidays in different surroundings. Roads, footpaths, parks, carparks, bike tracks and bike lanes may look different in holiday areas.
The best way to keep your child safe is to actively supervise them.
Talk and teach your child about road safety every time you are out an about.
Remind other adults who care for your children to do this too.

Treatment of head lice
Head lice are a very common problem that most parents and teachers are more than familiar with. The school
holidays is a great time to treat your child for head lice, just before they come back to school for Term 1. Here are
some treatment tips:
Do not treat your child if their scalp is irritated or inflamed
Always read the head lice product label and directions before you apply it to your child's head. Products can
be found in local chemists
Apply the head lice product to every strand of your child's hair and work through, leave for 20 minutes, and
comb out with a good quality lice comb
Check your child's head and if dead lice are found, the product has worked. However make sure you re-treat
your child's head in seven days to catch nymphs that have emerged from unhatched eggs
Reduce the risk of your child catching head lice by tying their hair back or braiding it. Holiday Maintenance During the holidays we will be having some work done at school. The school will be sprayed for pests, and we will also be having some roofs and guttering replaced.
School organisation and Enrolments 2018 It is at this time of year that we are beginning our organisation for the 2018 school year. If you are moving out of the area and leaving our school please inform the office of your intentions. Similarly, if you are aware of any students moving into our area who will be attending our school in 2018 please ask the families to make contact with the school. School Security Please contact School Security on - 1300 880 021 during the holidays in the event of any security issues. Thank You I would like to say thank you to all of the staff at Chittaway Bay Public School for their dedication to making a difference to children at CBPS this year. Thank you to all of our parents, families and community members for their support of students and staff during the year. Lastly, thank you to the wonderful students of Chittaway Bay for making each day at school special.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a safe and fun holiday, Mrs Ruth Goodwin Principal
